Follow (Re)Generation Who

We are happy to announce that Sylvester McCoy, the 7th Doctor in the Classic Series, will be a guest at (Re)Generation Who 5.

Joining him as new guests to the event are Wendy Padbury, who played companion Zoe Heriot opposite the 2nd Doctor (and alongside our other guest Frazer Hines), as well as Terry Molloy, who played Davros in the Classic series.

They, along with our other announced guests, will all be available for autographs, photo ops, and be on panels all three days of the event (March 29-31st).

We’ve also added some creator guests to the list: Simon Fraser, comic artist for the 11th Doctor comic book series, and Walt Ciechanowski, author of many of the sourcebooks for the Doctor Who Role Playing Game. Both will be at the event for all three days.

If you want to meet any of the above guests at one of our Special Events, we still have some spots available, so you can add them to your registration (along with pre-orders for autographs and photo ops).

(Re)Generation Who is happy to announce that Frazer Hines will be a guest at the event this year. Frazer played Jamie McCrimmon opposite Second Doctor Patrick Troughton in Doctor Who. As Jamie, he appeared in 117 TV episodes – more than any other companion in the history of the show (and more than most Doctors!). He has gone on to reprise the role for Big Finish in recent years, as well as voicing the Second Doctor on occasion.

Frazer will be at the event all three days and be available for Autographs, Photo Ops, and will appear on Panels and Special Events. His items are now available for pre-order from our registration system.

(Re)Generation Who is very happy to announce the following guests for (Re)Generation Who 5:

The 8th Doctor Paul McGann will be joining us for the first time at (Re)Generation Who 5. Paul starred in the 1996 American Doctor Who film, and has reprised the role of the 8th Doctor in numerous Big Finish audio dramas, as well as returning for the 50th anniversary mini-episode “The Night of the Doctor”.

Daphne Ashbrook starred opposite Paul McGann in the 1996 Doctor Who movie as his companion Dr. Grace Holloway. In addition to the film Daphne has appeared in Big Finish audio dramas, and also appeared as Melora in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, amongst a wide range of other film and TV work.

Yee Jee Tso starred opposite Paul McGann in the 1996 Doctor Who movie as his companion Chang Lee. Yee Jee has appeared in a wide range of other shows, including spots on Smallville, Stargate: Atlantis, Sliders, Arrow, Continuum, and many more.

We’re very happy to have the full 8th Doctor TARDIS team at the event this year, and will be announcing more guests over the next few months.

We also have add-on VIP levels available that cost $60, $90, and $150 and convey extra perks or items to the attendee. For the faction name on the badge (example, UNIT or Judoon) you can choose either one when you pick up your badge at the event.

Friday nights at (Re)Generation Who are a night of entertainment: a time to put on makeup, dress up right, and hand over the big stage to the creator of the Daleks himself. That’s right — the “Dave Ross Variety Hour” was back again for (Re)Gen 4!

Fans were treated to an evening of music, comedy, dance, and surprises led by master of ceremonies Dave Ross (who is absolutely not Davros actor Terry Molloy and also absolutely not Davros himself). This year’s show included performances from some of our veteran attendees, too!

As always, Dave Ross and the Dalettes got things started, warming the crowd up for an evening of fun. But there was a new challenge on the horizon: the show had its very own Statler and Waldorf!

However, the performers were unswayed, and created an amazing evening for all. Returning guest Hannah Harkness brought the laughs:

Our open mic performers showed their fellow attendees what they got:

And Team Shenanigans did what Team Shenanigans does:

Con chair Oni Hartstein took the stage to perform with Cat Smith:

And Andy Hicks appeared throughout the show with musical tributes to every single Doctor:

No matter how smoothly a show goes, though, Dave Ross still aims to misbehave. Whether he’s going full Heisenberg with his sidekick Monty Bear:

Or auditioning for a spot in Antipode Geek Bellydance!

Couldn’t make it? We’ve got you covered — ukulele star and Head of Press Angela Pritchett brings us the show’s opening number:

And something tells us we’ll be seeing many, many more moments from this amazing evening as the year goes on!

We made history yesterday in the Inner Harbor! The Doctor Who stars who joined us yesterday in Baltimore brought some of the biggest crowds (Re)Generation Who has ever seen!

Peter Capaldi arrived via TARDIS for his first interview since leaving Doctor Who. The standing-room-only crowd heard Peter chat about everything from his early art career to his dream episode where Jimi Hendrix meets the Twelfth Doctor.

Michelle Gomez took the mainstage directly after to chat about her work on the show — and potentially let a few surprises about Missy’s future slip! (Spoilers…)

Fans of the Classic era also had a chance to see actors and writers interact — like Colin Baker and Michael Jayston facing off as the Sixth Doctor and the Valeyard again!

Evening entertainment launched with game shows, the Greatest Cosplay Show in the Galaxy, and a late-night dance party.

The party is going on today! There are still tickets available for our event at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Join us on the fifth floor for a day of panels, interviews, and fun!

The big weekend is underway, and we hit the ground running here at (Re)Generation Who 4! Our guests are all excited to be on hand, and the panels and workshops have had a great turnout!

The Fifth Doctor and his companions reunited on the mainstage!

Our mainstage events included interviews with TARDIS teams, face-offs between heroes and villains, and the Friday night Companions panel! In the side panel rooms we kicked off with the annual “We Are (Re)Generation Who” panel, followed by fan-designed events and tribute panels.

The Friday night Companions panel featuring Mark Strickson, John Leeson, and William Russell.

Fans of Who writers experienced part 1 of an exclusive writing workshop with Paul Magrs, and attendees up late sat in on writer guests reading some of their short stories.

Late night was also the time to party! The Davros Variety Hour was back with music, dancing, and a performance by our own Oni Hartstein!

And DJ Kangal kept attendees dancing into the night with (Re)Gen 4’s Time and Space Jam.

Don’t want to miss out on the rest of the fun? We still have day and weekend passes! Join us tomorrow in the Baltimore Inner Harbor — reg is available at the door. Tomorrow will feature a giant cosplay contest, mainstage interviews with actors and creators, fan panels and meet-ups, and at 1 pm on the big stage, our interview with Twelfth Doctor Peter Capaldi!

Didn’t make it under the wire for pre-registration? We got you covered — we’ve got full weekend and single-day spaces still available at the door! Three-day passes are now $100 each, which gets you full access to our panels and vendors!

Autograph and photo-op spots are also still available. Transaction will be cash-only so make sure you come prepared. Check out our full price list so you can plan ahead.

Want to plan you panel schedule? Reference our programming grid for times and locations, and get more info on our programming descriptions page. All panels in the main space and three smaller panel rooms are accessible to all attendees without a special VIP package — but you might want to line up in advance for some of them!

Bringing kids? We have an amazing children’s programming track for parents and kids to share. Enjoy coloring pages, crafts, and a children’s cosplay contest. Some surprise guests may even drop in throughout the weekend!

And, as mentioned by the Radio Times, this Saturday will feature Peter Capaldi’s first interview since leaving Doctor Who! Don’t miss out on being a part of Who history!

The event space is on the fifth floor — so when you arrive, take the elevator up to find us. We’ll see you this weekend!

Want to spice up your selfies this weekend? We’ve created some cool frames for your Facebook pics, stories, and profiles to help show your friends where you are this weekend!

The frames will be available from Thursday to Monday. How do you get them? Just be at the event! The frames are location-targeted to be usable by anyone currently at the Renaissance. The above example is just one of five we’ll have available. Come to the con to unlock the rest!

Oh, and if you haven’t pre-registered, make sure to do so ASAP — time is running out!

Its is with heavy heart that we are unable to enable the WarGames for this RegenerationWho 4. The Matrix Data Slice we were using to run the environment was recently re-acquired by the Time Lords to help with some frivolous Time Lordian project dealing with amending Time Paradoxes or some other silly thing.

We have what we need and will rebuild, hopefully better and stronger in time for the next RegenerationWho 5.
